Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Photoelectric current will not change.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The photoelectric current in a photoelectric effect experiment depends on the intensity of the incident radiation, which corresponds to the number of photons incident per unit time per unit area. The frequency of the incident radiation determines the energy of each individual…
